I understand the need to be reimbursed for these false alarms that are sending out our officers on wild goose chases and agree something needs to be done. I don’t mind paying $25 a year for the service they provide to me. But, why aren’t these violators being charged at least $25 dollars each time an officer responds to their home now after the first false alarm? It’s not only a waste of valuable manpower and of gas to respond over and over to these same violators but possibly pulling them from something important! I know when I first got my system I couldn’t reach to reset the pad on the wall quick enough because I’m in a wheelchair so alarm went off and they responded to my house … once. I got AT&T to give me extra hand held devices so that wouldn’t happen again and the police have not had to respond to another false alarm at my residence since. I’m using myself to point out that there are ways to fix these false alarms if the owners care enough to figure it out. Maybe if they were fined each time they’d have incentive to care to do that?
